The accident was caused by defective switch.

thrown from the track: two of them were turned
completely over; one turned over twice. 1t is

the sufferers, but these are a few of them:

that the fires had gone out in the stoves, or the
loss of life would have been great. The train

night. Everything was going to smash, and they
were all clamoring for him. lie WAS to deliver

the reins of government in his own hands.
His arrival to have been signalized by
master-stroke Woodford was to have been the
stroke. larger force than ever had been brought
TO bear upon proclaimed meeting was massed at
Loughea. Portumna and Galway. 1t was to have
been Cromwellian stroke. Blooishcd there was
to have been by hook or crook. No half-hearted
numbering at Mitchelstown; but numbering
by wholesale.
The leaders too TO have been picked out
by the marksmcn. Terror to have been
struck. The hand of Mr., Balfour was to have
been felt "1he Times" was preparing to sing
pean over the Inauguration of the new era
Holding the meeting at midnight was the only
way TO avert bloolshed and ballS the Government
of their game 1t was rusc that completely
succeeded. The meeting was held successfully;
and when the supprcssing army arrived next
day. the people had done their business and there
nothing to suppress.
On Monday at the Privy Council no heroic
step was decided on. and things were 10 go on
as before This was because Mr.. Balfour's great
stroke had failed. Had the people been crushed at
WoodfOrd, we should have heard of the total
suppression of the National League. and any
amount of heroic measures would have been
decided upon. The Woodford meeting acted as IA
checlSmate on this policy. Tho Government is re-
